      Isn't the CPP C5 steering knuckle and brake kit for the front only? I don't believe they offer and C5/C6 based parts for the rear.

      I don't know if you have drums or discs, but the rear brake calipers or drums should still function even without the parking brake cables attached. Of course, you won't have a parking brake.

      I have no idea if your brake proportioning will be the same after upgrading to C5 front discs and calipers, but the parking brake cable does not affect that.

      Yes, you can drive it without the Ebrake cables hooked up.
